The goal in fire protection is to reduce the potential fuel for wildfires. Many Southern California homes are located in brush or chaparral land, and in the dry season much of this native vegetation is highly flam-mable. These same homes are often located on hillsides whose steep slopes are particularly vulnerable to soil erosion when native vegetation is removed for fire control. Therefore, a balance is struck between fire protection and erosion control. Help protect your home from wildfire by following these guidelines: . Trim tree limbs within 10 feet of your chimney.

Forty-five years later I find myself walking amidst the beautiful landscape of southern France, listening to the radio on my earphones. The school system, or more generally the totality of instructional opportunities - which I shall later refer to as the instructional landscape - constitutes but one area to which such resources should be directed. My emphasis will therefore be on what should be done to landscape the learning environment in such a way that the complex mind can find a home in it. I have introduced the terms landscaping and landscape to bring into perspective elements that have so far received insufficient attention from those who contribute to creating the conditions that promote and facilitate human learning. We normally see an intermingling of different aspects of multiple sub-landscapes when we appreciate the beauty of the whole. The instructionalChp 5 Aug 25
Landscaping is not a field that is usually scrutinized for occupational exposures, but should receive more attention independent of agricultural occupations. It is clear from this study that the employees that work with wood mulch are subject to exposures to known respiratory irritants. In this study the workers were not exposed to significant amounts of irritant compared to other agricultural studies that have been conducted, though there was still a presence of many pulmonary irritants and allergens. This study was a small cross section of the landscaping industry and the mulching task. These are considerations for further field studies of landscaping and other industries that use wood mulch. Jobs like landscaping are hard to monitor since the job site is constantly changing along with the environment and there are no engineering or administrative controls that can- STIPtext05

Urban regions experience higher temperatures than surrounding rural areas because vegetation is removed and replaced by concrete. Urban building materials such as asphalt roads and cement buildings and roofs absorb a higher amount of heat during daytime hours then slowly release this stored heat into the night (Stone and Rodgers 187). The removal of vegetation reduces the potential for the cooling effects of evapotranspiration, which is the process through which water evaporates through a plant's leaves (187). Furthermore, trees provide shade needed to maintain lower temperatures, while vegetated surfaces radiate less heat than concrete. From the results of our study, we hope to be able 1.1 Memo - 1 December 2003 Page 1 of 2 This section discusses the role of vegetation within the highway landscape and the opportunities it presents. rural areas of where pasture or grassland is a significant element in the landscape and surrounding environment erosion control on steep slopes and batters safety clear-zones along the shoulder of the highway (refer Section 3.2 Clear Zones) roadside drains and channels to assist in stabilisation and filtration of Guidelines for Highway Landscaping 17 Version 1.1: 1 December 2003 Any screening should retain good views, reflect local landscape character and not intrude on the landscape and surrounding environment.

Prairie plants are good choices for landscaping, especially in open, sunny areas. They are mostly perennial, deep-rooted, and drought resistant. They provide color throughout the season from early spring to late fall. Some of the prairie grasses grow in compact bunches and can be used in conjunction with the flowering plants. Know the height of species when you lay out your prairie garden! Some are tall, while others are smaller and shorter, and will be good background plants. Flowers Butterfly Weed - a warm season perennial, blooms in summer/fall, a brilliant orange, excellent for attracting butterflies. Coneflowers - Pale Prairie, a warm season perennial, pinkish rays; Drooping or Weary Susan, a perennial blooming from June to September, yellow rays and a gray-green disk.la1
Reduces solar heat gain, energy consumption and pollution, and improves air quality. Deciduous (oak, maple, ash, etc.) For buildings with high cooling loads, land-scaping can reduce solar heat gain, cooling ener-gy and increase the attractiveness of outdoor spaces. Plants can reduce ambient air tempera-tures by up to 10°F and surface temperatures by 20°F. .Plant trees with dense canopies and mature height of 40 ft. next to east and west building facades to shade windows and walls from low-angle sun. .Plant trees with higher deciduous canopies along south and southwest sides of buildings, to provide summer shade while maintaining solar access in winter. .Plant trees approximately half the width of the tree's mature canopy from the building and spaced at 1/4 to 1/3 the canopy width.

Native plants are those that evolved naturally in North America. They are trees, shrubs, grass, wildflowers, or groundcovers that grow in a specific area without direct or indirect influence from people. In other words, native plants are usually ones that do not need human intervention to become established or to survive. WHY LANDSCAPE WITH NATIVE PLANTS .Unlike non-natives, over long periods of time native plants have acclimated them-selves to local conditions. .They are resistant to most pests and diseases. .Native plants provide food and shelter for birds, butterflies and other desirable wildlife. .Natives often naturalize themselves in your garden, making it easier to maintain.1 | 2
